BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Waiting for the bell at the end of the Minotaur herd was the fog as far as I could see. At least, there was no fog when Bell encountered Minotaur.

It was so thick and foggy that I couldn't see the moon guard (Luna Guard) over there.

I can't even confirm the appearance of other exams, not just warcraft looming from the front. Was this fog also summoned by the Summoner?

…………

It was a bell that I had been flattered for a while, but I never move on with my intentions. The further you go, the worse your vision goes.

Surrounding the bell is an even bright white world. The fog completely took Bell's sight, 360 degrees. No wonder the Warcraft appeared from any angle. Bell couldn't hide his anxiety, frustrated by the tension he didn't know where the Warcraft was coming from. Whatever lies ahead, we have to move on.

"… l…………"

Feeling some sign and sound, Bell looks back reflexively. I think I saw something shadowy there, but it immediately blended into the fog.

There is something hidden in the fog. That was obvious. Be vigilant around you, sharpen your senses until possible and take your steps. I haven't changed my direction of walking since before I went into the fog, but everywhere I look around, the view remains the same. Bell was no longer even starting to know where he was going.

"Don't hide. Come out!

Belle was frustrated. Someone who doesn't show up is approaching him. If the enemy can see through the fog, Bell is in a very unfavourable situation. This fog is a sudden occurrence. A warcraft with some special power may have intentionally generated fog.

"Come out! If you don't come out, I'll burn every mist!

Bell, unable to withstand this situation and anxiety, finally made the magic formation appear. It is extremely dangerous to continue through the fog in an unprotected state. If the rotting flames on which Arrosha's fireworks are based, they will be able to burn this fog down.

"Belle……………"

Something calls Bell's name when Bell tries to get rot flames out of the magic team.

⁉ ︎

Bell can't hide his surprise. That was certainly a woman's voice. Is Raleigh looking for a bell in the fog?

The thought that he might have company in the fog he was trying to burn down stopped Bell's hand. The magic formation on his right hand is gone. Exactly octagonal. If you keep going unprotected, you may be attacked from the blind spot.

If you say or and burn down the fog with flames, it could hurt Raleigh, who is in the fog.

Hurting your people. That's what Bell avoids the first time. Demons who take away their consciousness and wake up may sometimes hurt their companions. While his body was free, it was not for Bell himself to forgive him for hurting his people without wanting to.

"............ Belle"

I gazed ahead and saw that there was certainly something there. Something approaches us from behind the mist we can get into.

Eventually the silhouette came clear. That was a person. I'm not a warcraft from anywhere.

But that could be a humanoid like Cyclops, or maybe Centaur just happened to look like a person. Still, Bell just waited for the “person”.

"…………………………………… ⁉ …"

When the identity of the person was revealed, Bell lost his word. It showed that the person who showed up wasn't Raleigh.

What showed up in front of me was someone who could never be here. He was the one who was never supposed to exist here.

"Belle."

"............................................. Mother?

Bell couldn't believe his own eyes. Right in front of you, there's Bell's mother, Helen Quill. Helen is smiling gently.

There you are, Helen herself, living in memory. When Bell was young, Helen died. She couldn't have existed here like that.

"................................. you are not my mother"

It was Bell staring at Helen with her eyes looking at something lovely for a while, but eventually the look froze cold.

"What are you talking about?

Helen keeps smiling.

"I'm not fooled anymore. There can't be a mother in here!

I stand a chance to regain happiness in front of me. But Bell tries to push it away. Bell had an unforgettable tragedy.

Fate night, Black Moon. That day, a demon appeared before Bell who looked like Helen. And as a result of approaching something in the form of a mother, Bell was cursed.

Black Moon took happiness from Bell and changed Bell. But that also made Bell smarter. There was no upbringing, but only instinctive intuition was twice as common.

"Your mother is here."

Helen is waiting for Bell with her hands wide open. It's not the real Helen in front of me. Bell understood it, but Helen's smile, reproduced too realistically, confuses Bell.

……………

Bell turned away unexpectedly.

And I closed my eyes. With his head, his mind wants his mother, even if he knows it by his body. Open your eyes and there's what Helen looked like. And even if I close my eyes, there's Helen behind my eyelids.

The mother who died at an early age has always been in the depths of his heart. Its memories are vividly evoked and it does not leave the back of its brain for a moment.

The unforgettable appearance of Helen. Helen always looked worryingly far away at how her father Johann would immerse himself in the study of the devil. She was the one who always gave Belle a gentle smile, but in the shadows she had a dark face.

As a child, Belle didn't miss it. Helen has been worried about Johann. Johann, who spent more time researching each year, went with less time talking to Helen in inverse proportion.

On the contrary, they were even trying not to look at each other. The cold-blooded researcher was no longer even concerned with my child.

Every day, Bell also watched Johann read the book and indulge in research. Johan's face at that time also looked like a demon.

By the time I met Helen, Johan must have been a different person than he is now. Who would like a guy who doesn't even have a decent conversation and just keeps researching? Once upon a time, Johann should have had enough charm for Helen to be attracted.

But something has changed Johann. Johann was not Bell's memorable father. What is clear in his memory was the appearance of a madman who was delayed in his research.

Bell never forgot the day Helen left the house. People's memories change shape and move. That happened 13 years ago. It may already be far from the fact.

But the sight was intensely burned inside the bell. Johann, who remained stuck in the lab, didn't even notice, and Helen suddenly popped out of the house.

I never took out the bell that was in the house that day, and I left. She left by herself.

If you were going to dump Johann and live a new life somewhere different, you would have taken Bell.

But she didn't take her. Did Helen leave with the intention of committing suicide from the beginning?

Some parents commit suicide with their children because they feel sorry for one person left behind.

But Helen didn't. Did she know that was a stupid and selfish act? You didn't want to involve my child in your ego?

Or is there a secret truth that Bell doesn't know? Whatever truth there is, the great grief that remains in the bell cannot be wiped away, no matter what.

"Come, Belle"

Helen's voice reaches again when Bell was remembering her loving mother and hating father. Bell looked up. The one in the shape of Helen sits quietly without causing harm, even if the bell is left defenseless.

"Mother..."

Here Bell found one possibility.

"Is this your mother's ghost...?

That's one possibility Bell has in mind. Helen can't exist here.

But when Arrosha used to fool me, Bell didn't know Ghost existed. Now I know the Ghost is real. If it's Helen's Ghost, it's no wonder he's here. Are you saying that after all these years, you've come to see Bell?

"Huf..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Helen is smiling constantly. The smile moved the bell.

……………

Bell approaches Helen in silence. His expression looks both smiling and distorted. I don't know what Bell thinks at the bottom of his mind.

"Belle............"

Helen stares straight into Bell's eyes. That's when Bell smiled. Now I'm smiling no matter what anyone says.

At that time, something elongated was beginning to wrap around Bell's body. Ahead of that elongated thing was a face like a baku. It was the nose of a beast like Baku that wrapped it around the bell. Even though Warcraft's nose is definitely wrapped around the bell, Bell strangely doesn't realize it.

"What are you talking about?

He was a bell smiling at his mother in front of him, but his face caught the moment he heard this word.

Then extend your right hand to Helen to Xu (Omoro).

"I knew you were... not my mother."

In an instant, from Bell's right palm, a swirling rot flame was released. There was anger in Bell's eyes.

There could be Raleigh in this fog. One of Helen's words earlier pissed Bell off enough to make him forget that too. Words pronounced by things in the shape of Helen. That was a completely unworthy word at that moment. We didn't have a conversation.

The spoilage flame emitted instantly spread throughout the mist that could stand in.

⁉ ︎

Warcraft like Baku, which was wrapped around the bell, was quickly taken in by rotting flames.

Eventually, the rot flame will completely burn off the fog. I'm not sure if there was Raleigh or any other exams in this fog, but the fog was completely clear. The only thing that remains there is the smell so intense that your nose is about to bend.

"Pass."

When Fumibel raised her gaze, there was a line of Luna Guards in front of her.

"Ah......"

Did the anger she had until then also clear with the fog, Bell calms down and looks for Raleigh.

Staring backwards for a while, I don't see Raleigh. On the contrary, I didn't even see the other exams. Driven by a sense of despair, that's when Bell looked back in front again.

"What's going on? Look like someone's dead."

I heard Raleigh. She was already on the other side of the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) line. If you look closely, the blonde was on goal as well.

"... good"

Bell strokes his chest down. It could have been the first time for Bell that he was so worried about the safety of others.

"But well done. The last time I attacked you was a warcraft called Mirage. It changes the body in a misty fashion and preys without letting the target notice. Mirage mirrors human memory in reality. It's like a mirage, so to speak."

From Benjamin's mouth tells the truth about the strange experience Bell has just tasted. Warcraft Mirage. Those who encounter Mirage for the first time do not realize that the fog itself is a warcraft.

"Mirage prefers the human brain marrow. Show lost people the loved ones in your memory and confuse them. Mirage sucks out the cerebral cord in the gaps where humans remain in the fog. Mirage reveals herself like a long nose because she needs an entity when she sucks off her brain marrow. The fog just gathered, and there's hardly any mass."

"Rhododendron."

An acid bug ran on Bell's body. I should have known from the start that Helen wasn't real, but when I see her having trouble, I'm confused. Bell himself had no reason to know, but that was when the danger to his life was imminent.

Raleigh was kind enough to keep an eye on Bell like that. She was almost faceless, but from what I could see, she also looked like she was smiling.

The Moon Guard (Luna Guard) enlistment exam has now come to an end. Belle and Raleigh were able to successfully pass the exam.

But the atheist comrades' operation has just begun.
